Hey gang,
Been researching around for a decent chunk of time at this point and here’s the situation:
This will be used almost exclusively as a PC monitor (I’ll watch sports on it time to time, but not enough).
In terms of games played, I definitely love fast paced single player games (FPS, racing, fighting) as well as immersive adventures like AC Odyssey, and look forward to seeing Cyberpunk in all it’s full glory. That said, I almost never play games at a CS:GO pace/level of competitiveness, and only occasionally play online action games. While not demanding at all, I do play fine detail games like strategic turn based RPG’s as well.
My main questions/concerns I was wondering if the fine folks here can help me with are:
-Burn-In: Never really owned a display that it is an issue with, and the only knocks I’ve seen on this display is the burn-in (albeit even those are fairly rare). I’m going to try to get it thru best buy for a protection plan for burn, but wanted to see if anyone had experience with this monitor for that reason? Does it have any Margin of error? I plan to just make sure it has a sleep setting when idle for more than X minutes, but didn't know how sensitive it was.
-144hz vs 120hz refresh: assuming I have the horse power to push the full 144hz refresh and that’s not an issue, it seems as if most people say I won’t tell much, if any, difference of between the two, and in fact some times 120 works better when upscaling?
-HDMI 2.1 v DisplayPort 1.4: No brainer, yes? Since DP 2.0 is no where near in sight as an option, and HDMI2.1 has more max bandwidth than dp1.4? I know 2.1 can’t push 4k/144hz, but if I go CX that won’t matter, and if I go Asus, I’ll have the DP input.
-1ms vs “>1ms”: Seems to be the area the Swift clearly wins. >1ms is what the LG has listed as specs, which could be literally any number greater than 1, but I had seen people say 5-10ms or greater? That sounds like it could be a noticeable issue, but not experienced with fast refresh monitors. Anyone know the actual response time? Is this another thing that I'd only notice the difference in competitive gaming?
-Readable Text?: I know I saw lots of folks say they can’t read text in Windows on the Asus because it’s so blurry. Saw there was a couple firmware fixes, but that sounded annoying, wasn’t sure if the OLED would have the same issue?
Sorry for the lengthy post, but always appreciate the Tom’s forum community’s knowledge!

Been researching around for a decent chunk of time at this point and here’s the situation:
- I’ll be driving the display with a RTX3080, i9-10900k, 64g ram, etc.
- Larger format and 4k are a must, as is 120 or greater hz, and a snappy response time.
- Like the ~$1300-1600 price range, but if there’s something I’m missing a bit over that range, cool.
- Will be wall mounted with a deep desk below it, so viewing distance isn’t an issue (but not >50in)
